A passerby 3 walks toward the gate device 1 from the front in order to pass through the gate device 1.例文帳に追加Also, the passerby 3 causes the reader 13 to read an IC card, a ticket on which an image code is printed, or the like, if necessary.

When the sensor information acquisition means 100 of the gate device 1 is operating normally and passable (S1; Yes), the sensor information acquisition means 100 acquires the detection signal detected by the sensor 12 and detects the approach of the passerby 3 to the gate device 1. (S2). Further, the read information acquisition unit 171 acquires the information read by the reader 13 as read information (S3).

Next, the passability determination means 172 refers to the determination condition information 181 of the storage unit 18 based on the detection signal acquired by the sensor information acquisition means 170 and/or the read information acquired by the read information acquisition means 171, and It is determined whether the person 3 is passable or impassable (S4). For example, if the determination condition information 181 includes information that matches the information included in the read information, the passability determining means 172 determines that the passage is permitted (S5; Yes), and if not described, determines that the passage is not permitted. (S5; No). For example, the passability determination means 172 determines that the passage is permitted when the detection signal detects the passage of one person, and determines that the passage is not permitted when the detection signal detects the passage of a plurality of persons (tailgating). good too.

Next, the drive section control means 173 controls the operation of the drive section 14 according to the judgment result of the pass permission judgment means 172, and changes the position of the flap 11. FIG. If it is passable, the flap 11 is positioned as shown in FIG. 1A (S6).

Next, the light-emitting section control means 174 controls the operation of the light-emitting section 15 according to the judgment result of the passability judging section 172, and changes the light-emitting color and light-emitting pattern of the light-emitting section 15 (S10). The light-emitting portions 15A and 15B become a light-emitting pattern indicating traffic prohibition (for example, flashing red).

The passerby 3 confirms that the flap 11 is closed (and the light emitting patterns of the light emitting parts 15A and 15B) and leaves the gate.

When the sensor information acquisition means 170 detects the separation of the passerby 3 (S11; Yes), the process returns to step S1. and 15B are maintained (S10, S11). If the passerby 3 does not move away even after a predetermined time has passed, an error process may be performed.

Further, when the gate device 1 is in an impassable state due to a failure (sensor abnormality, drive part abnormality, etc.) or an operational reason (unauthorized intrusion, etc.) (S1; No), the drive unit control means 173 controls the drive unit 14 is controlled, and the flap 11 is positioned as shown in FIG. 1C (S12).

Next, the light-emitting unit control means 174 controls the operation of the light-emitting unit 15 according to the impassable state “failure” or “operational reasons”, and changes the light-emitting color and light-emitting pattern of the light-emitting unit 15 (S13). ). The light-emitting units 15A and 15B use, for example, a red flashing pattern with a long lighting interval as a light-emitting pattern indicating a failure.

In addition, the display section control means 175 displays according to the detection signal acquired by the sensor information acquisition means 170 according to each of the above operations, the read information acquired by the read information acquisition means 171, and the determination content of the passability determination means 172. It controls the operation of the unit 16 and changes the display contents of the display unit 16 . For example, the collected fee amount, the balance of the IC card, the expiration date of the ticket, and the like are displayed.

Here, the passerby 3 visually recognizes the gate device 1 from the front, and it is normal for the passerby 3 to recognize that the passerby 3 can pass when the flap 11 of the gate device 1 is open (FIG. 1A). be. In addition, even when the flap 11 is closed (FIG. 1C), the light-emitting parts 15A and 15B of the gate device 1 emit light in colors indicating that passage is possible (light-emitting colors such as green and blue similar to traffic signals) or light It is driven in a pattern (a light emission pattern that flows to the back when viewed from the passerby 3), and the passerby 3 recognizes that it is passable.

4A and 4B are schematic diagrams showing the user's viewing angles for the gate device 1 and a conventional gate device with a flap.

As shown in FIG. 4A, the visual angle at which the light-emitting portions 15A and 15B of the flap 11 of the gate device 1 can be visually recognized by a person of _average height is θ1. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, the visual angle at which the flap 11X of the gate device 1X can be visually recognized by an average height is θ ₂ , and θ ₁ >θ ₂ . The attachment height of the flap 11 with respect to the main body 10 can be set according to the average height of the assumed passers-by 3, but since the flap 11 is not perpendicular to the light emitting portions 15A and 15B, the lower the attachment height, the more , θ ₁ increase. On the other hand, since the flap 11X is vertical, the _lower the mounting height, the smaller θ2. That is, since the flap 11 can be arranged lower than the flap 11X, the height of the main body 10 can be designed lower than the gate device 1X.

As an example, the size of the flap 11 is 110 mm in depth, 464 mm in width, and 18 mm in thickness for the main surface 11A, 92 mm in depth (plan view), 73 mm in height (front view) for the secondary surface 11B, and 760 mm in mounting height. be. In addition, the size of the flap 11 may be expanded to a depth of 300 mm (main surface 11A: 150 mm, secondary surface 11B: 150 mm), or an auxiliary flap (see FIG. 8) with a depth of 30 mm (main surface 11A: 15 mm, secondary surface 11B: 15 mm). Furthermore, the size can be appropriately changed according to visibility, driveability, and drive purpose. Further, the depth size of the main body 10 can be appropriately changed according to the depth size of the flap 11 , and the depth size of the flap 11 can be changed appropriately according to the depth size of the main body 10 . Moreover, the width may be appropriately changed according to the passage width.

(Effect of Embodiment)
According to the above-described embodiment, the gate device 1 is configured so that the main surface 11A is horizontal (at least not vertical) when the flap 11 is closed, and the light emitting section 15A is provided on the main surface 11A. , the visibility of traffic conditions can be improved. In addition, the width of the flap 11 can be expanded to the width of the traffic road, and when the flap 11 is housed, the main surface 11A is configured to be vertical. A decrease in the number of roads can be suppressed.

In addition, since the width of the light emitting units 15A and 15B can be extended to the width of the passageway, and the depth can be extended to the depth of the main body 10, a sufficient area for presenting information to the passerby 3 can be secured. Since the area of 15B is sufficient, complicated display is possible without sacrificing visibility.

Further, since the flap 11 has a width in the depth direction of the passage, even if the flap 11 is arranged at a lower position, it is easy to suppress unauthorized passage such as passing through or jumping over.
